More about me

Are you curious who the weird fellow that created this website is? That curiosity can be cured, I have created a page with information about me. I have a blog where I post various technobabble in:

• Making man pages easier to read (2024-11-19)
• Memories of childhood (2024-03-19)
• Adding a Mastodon feed to a static HTML site (2023-12-18)
• Moving a website to a new host (2023-12-18)
• On the futility of using Microsoft as an email provider (2023-01-23)

These days I hang around on social media, like everyone else. I can be found on both Mastodon at Vivaldi Social and on Facebook. Here are my latest toots on Mastodon:

  Avregistrerte danske biler leverte mat i Oslo - nå er bileierne anmeldt
  De avregistrerte bilene kjører rundt i Oslo uten forsikring og EU-godkjenning. Nå har bompengeselskap anmeldt fire bileiere.

  I hope US folks on the No Kings rallies know how much people outside the US are heartened to see them. We always knew the US is full of very fine people who totally reject and revile what's happening, but my god it's good to see it.

  When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

  @kkarhan Most of the tools mentioned on that page use Git nowadays. Some started out with CVS or Subversion, but has moved on.

These pages are written to conform to the standards for web pages, if you have a web browser that does not handle these correct you may run into problems. I regularly test the pages in Vivaldi and Lynx.

Wrestling

I'm a fan of wrestling , and I maintain American Wrestling Trivia with results from American pro-wrestling. If you are interested in American wrestling, then this site is sure worth taking a look at! I have got results from main events of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), All Elite Wrestling (AEW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) dating back as far as to 1985.

Computers

I'm also a programmer, and some of the software I've written I have made available for download here. Some is also available on GitHub. Some of my other creations include my web games, which are available on-line for your pleasure.

The first computer I owned myself was a Commodore 64, which I still have. A part of my website is devoted to Commodore eight-bit machines, and among the stuff available there is an on-line version of my old PD library, some scanned version of old cool ads about Commodore machines, the home page of the now defunct Swedish non-profit Commodore magazine Åtta Bitar (Eight bits), for which I wrote a few articles, something I've continued to do for other magazines, such as Go64.

I was active on FidoNet between 1994 and the beginning of the 2000s. For the Swedish Fidonet audience, I have a page devoted to the yearly Swedish Fidonet convention SupCon. Up until 2000 I posted FAQ documents in several Fidonet echoes.

Miscellaneous

On the web, one can find information on everything and nothing. I was thus surprised when I noticed that I could not find any website about the fine old collectors' card game SuperTrumf from the mid 1980s. Well, that problem was easy to fix, and you can see the result yourself.

I have more unsorted pages available, plus a couple of pages that no longer get updated.

More about Softwolves

“Softwolves, what the heck is that?” you might ask. Well, mainly is the name I use for software I write, but when I decided to register my own domain, I thought that it would be a cool domain name, so that is why this site is now known as the Softwolves site. The name has its root back in my Commodore 64 days, when I thought that I should have a "cool" handle and group name to write my programs under, just like all the cool hackers/crackers did. Softwolves was the best I could come up with (and, believe me, if you knew the other ones I invented, you would agree...) But, it doesn't really mean anything... :-)
